Which line in the excerpt from “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost uses metonymy?
Novay_Z [31]
I think the line 'Since he was old enough to know, big boy' is the best line in the excerpt that uses metonymy. This is because the phrase 'he was old enough' is just an expanded meaning of the phrase 'big boy' - which is what metonymy is all about.

How does the narrator establish a conflict between her Mexican identity and the English-speaking country she lives ? ( Consider
daser333 [38]

She shows how her name is spoken in a strange way at school, among classmates, as if it hurt to pronounce it, however among her Spanish speaking community, her name was soft and seemed to be something precious, like silver . That's because, in the Latin community, her name is natural, inherent, as something accepted that is part of that. At school, in the midst of so many American children's names, her name suffered a certain rejection, as if that name did not belong there.

Her name is common among Latin communities, which shows the roots that formed it, in addition to making a connection between Esperanza's willingness to change her reality and achieve better living standards than her community offers. This feeling is very common in Latin communities and countries, which provides a strong link between her cultural and racial values, in addition to being a very strong reference to the hopes she has in the future and the hopes that her great-grandmother had in the past.
